Globe has partnered with Grab to improve its mobile network by collecting real-world data from daily trips across Metro Manila. The goal is to better understand how the network performs in actual conditions and fix areas with weak or unstable signal.
Through this partnership, Grab driver-partners helped gather over 20,000 network samples during the survey period. More than 100 drivers joined the effort, turning their regular trips into data collection activities. This allowed Globe to check signal strength across different roads, traffic levels, and times of day.
The data helped Globe find areas with poor coverage, including busy roads and places that were not tested before. It also gave a clearer picture of how the network performs during real rides, making the results more accurate than standard tests.
With these insights, Globe plans to improve its services for both customers and drivers. Better connectivity can lead to smoother ride bookings, faster deliveries, and improved app performance. Grab drivers can also benefit from better navigation and more reliable app use while working.
Eric Tanbauco, Vice President at Globe, said the partnership helps the company see real network performance and use the data to improve services.
This effort supports Globe’s goal of providing reliable connectivity for daily digital needs and helping build a more inclusive digital economy.
